    It takes all kinds ....fwiw if I knew a guy was monitoring the costs of what dishes I ordered, that would turn me off. (shrug)

      I think my ex hubby told me he dated a girl who would order a meal for take home...lol. He didn't date her long, but also didn't say anything about that to her.

        Yep. Not say a thing, just quit the game.

          Jns: You wouldn't have said something to a date when she ordered meals to take home? If she did it twice?

            If you say something, you get the tables turned on you. Now your are the bad person for noticing or saying something. Of course, if there is a good explanation (such as the take home meal is sneaked to a sibling who isn't getting enough food or even just wants it), it should be given up front. Truly the food you are paying for should mostly be for the company of the person it is intended to.

              I can't imagine doing something like that I guess...I suppose if I was in such a state, I'd ask for my date to take me grocery shopping! Lol
              But that's the practical side of me

                With proper observation and compassion by your date, he should take you grocery shopping without asking or just show up with a bag of assorted groceries in such a case.

                For the OP, is this the behavior he is going to exhibit after you get married, if you get married?
